Laravel Storage::get cannot find file, returns 404

Question

After uploading a document successfully like this:

$documentUploaded = $company->addMedia($file)->toMediaCollection();

When I try to fetch the document using storage:

Storage::get($documentUploaded->getPath());

I get the following error:

League\Flysystem\FileNotFoundException(code: 0): File not found at path: C:/wamp/www/my-app/storage/app/public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx at C:\wamp\www\my-app\vendor\league\flysystem\src\Filesystem.php:388) [stacktrace]

When I try to dump the file path:

dd($documentUploaded->getPath());

I get this:

C:\wamp\www\my-app\storage\app\public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx

When I check in both storage and public directories I can see the file there.

I already created a symlink between the public and storage directories with php artisan storage:link so I don't know what's going on here?

This links might be useful. [link 1](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10438008/different-behaviours-of-treating-backslash-in-the-url-by-firefox-and-chrome), [link 2](https://pc.net/helpcenter/answers/backslash_vs_forward_slash) — Parth Pandya, May 17 '18 at 09:12
I think its a matter of slash. That's why you are getting not found error. — Parth Pandya, May 17 '18 at 09:13
Yeah but the problem is I am not manually creating the path, so the slashes are generated by `getPath()` — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 09:16
try static address for testing like this:- `Storage::get(C:\wamp\www\my-app\storage\app\public\69\THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx);` and see if it is able to find file.. do acknowledge me of the outcome. — Parth Pandya, May 17 '18 at 09:20
I get exactly the same thing: `File not found at path: C:/wamp/www/my-app/storage/app/public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx` — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 09:25
Chrome v66.0.3359.181. I am using Laravel 5.6 and media library v7 — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 09:40
can you download firefox and see if it works there? this slash issue is frequent on chrome and IE. firefox handles it. — Parth Pandya, May 17 '18 at 09:41
Just tried that. Exact same thing. It's not a browser issue, its something to do with the way the Laravel storage symlink works. — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 09:46
For the get method, the file path should be specified relative to the "root" location configured for the disk. — JCPHPDev, May 17 '18 at 09:54
@JCPHPDev The root location for my `public` disk is `'root' => storage_path('app/public'),` — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 09:58
try this Storage::get('public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx'); — Sakib Abrar, May 17 '18 at 09:59
@SakibAbrar It returns nothing at all, when I try `dd(Storage::disk('public')->exists('public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx'));` it returns false — user3574492, May 17 '18 at 10:05
try dd(Storage::disk('local')->exists('public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx')); — Sakib Abrar, May 17 '18 at 10:06

The path should be relative to the 'project_name/storage/app' folder. So you have to do this

Storage::get('public/69/THIS-WILL-BE-ENCRYPTED.docx');

Is there any way I can easily get `69` (folder name) from `$documentUploaded->getPath()`? – user3574492 May 17 '18 at 10:17
